looking for quality time with dogs

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Karolyne. I absolutely love and adore dogs but do not have one of my own. Out of state, my family has 2 poodles, Buzz and Woody. I have many many years of behavioral dog training and have taught many of my friend's dogs while babysitting. Even my cat knows how to sit, speak, walk on a leash, down, high five! I believe that all dogs can communicate through their behavior and that humans would be able to understand their pets better if they were willing to learn a little more! I will send you frequent pictures and videos of your dog and may sometimes take out my professional camera and get involved in doing some fun pampering photoshoots! I believe that every pet needs love and will do everything I can in my power to make your dog have an awesome outdoor adventure or sleepover at my home. Bathing + grooming: I use a professional pet drying kit, shears, and scissors at home. I am used to grooming poodles, doodles, and generally hypoallergenic animals. If you look at my first picture, you will see some of my grooming. While I am willing to do bathing when I first meet your dog, I am only willing to do basic grooming only after I have walked or spent time with your dog overnight once before. I want to make sure that your dog feels comfortable with me, that they will be okay around loud noises like the dryer. If you pay for grooming/bathing and I feel as though your dog would be uncomfortable with me doing so, I will give you a full refund. Senior pets, special needs pets, and others: I own the HPZâ„¢ PET ROVER PRIME Luxury 3-In-1 Stroller For Small/Medium Dogs, Cats And Pets. I am willing to use this stroller to take your dog around all the sites and smells of the harbor.

There is so much to say about Karolyne’s attentiveness, kindness, and thoughtfulness. She came through completely! Thank you again

Karolyne took such great care of our puppy, Wilson, and sent us lots of pictures and video updates. Karolyne brought Wilson to the dog park, out with friends, and on plenty of walks. He also really enjoyed her cat, Kami, and relaxing with them during down time. Wilson was with Karolyne for the 4th of July and she made sure that he was comfortable for the fireworks. We would absolutely recommend Karolyne and look forward to having Wilson stay with her again!

Karolyne is simply the best dog sitter that you can ask for! This was the first time my dog was with a dog sitter as I went away for work and couldn’t take him with me. I was very emotional and Karolyne made the experience positive and light. She sent me pictures and videos of Rocco very often. She took good care of him with treats and ice cream for dogs. She made sure he was eating, drinking a lot of water and walking many times during the day. I will definitely take Rocco with her again no doubts. Thank you Karolyne!

Karolyne is just amazing. She loved my dog Chico as much as chico loved her. She gives constant updates throughout the day to make your feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend her, esp if you’re nervous like me to leave your dog with someone new.

Information Karolyne K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know whether your pet has any medical issues, allergies, or behavioral problems that I need to be aware of. I would also like to know their breed and how they get along with cats.

A typical day

We are a 5 minute walk from the harbor. We will go to the harbor, federal hill, the national aquarium area. All of these areas are connected without any cars so your dog will have plenty of leashed room to walk or run at their own pace without having to worry about traffic. I am a firm believer in rewarding good behavior for your dog. We will work on reinforcing good behavior and training whichever behavior, habits, or tricks you would like for me to work on with them! I also have a ton of enrichment activities, toys, and a screen for them to watch tv on.
